    About

    Anna Sanachina

    Anna is a soprano of the great romantic opera tradition and has been based in Venice for over 15 years. More than simply singing, she brings personal and distinctive brilliance to every performance, creating moments of deep emotion and genuine connection through music. Her performances are known for their emotional intensity and natural ability to engage the audience.

    She graduated in Voice from the P. I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and later came to Venice on a scholarship from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, awarded for talent and merit, where she completed the Biennium in Opera Voice at the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory, graduating with first-class honours.

    Her performances and artistic path have taken her to China, South Africa, Egypt, Estonia, France, Spain, Belgium and Germany, as well as to distinguished Italian venues – from Venice’s Doge’s Palace, Belmond Hotel Cipriani, The St. Regis Venice, Ca’ Sagredo Hotel and JW Marriott Venice to Palazzo Colonna in Rome, Villa Corsini in Florence and other notable venues.

    She has also appeared at Teatro La Fenice (Sale Apollinee), Teatro Malibran and Teatro Goldoni, and has performed for renowned names and institutions including Moët & Chandon, Lorenzo Quinn, Jeunesse Global, The Better World Fund, Clipway and the Maria Callas Foundation, as well as at events held in connection with the Venice Film Festival.

    Each performance is meant not only to be heard, but deeply felt – because every occasion deserves genuine emotion.
